ANALISIS KUALITAS AIR KOLAM RENANG UNIVERSITAS HASANUDDIN DAN KOLAM RENANG TIRTA LONTARA MAKASSAR = UNIVERSITY SWIMMING POOL WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS HASANUDDIN AND TIRTA LONTARA MAKASSAR SWIMMING POOL

This study aims to evaluate the water quality at the Hasanuddin University Swimming Pool and the Tirta Lontara Swimming Pool in Makassar by measuring residual chlorine levels and water pH under both crowded and quiet conditions. The test results show that the residual chlorine levels in both pools do not meet the health standards. At the Hasanuddin University Swimming Pool, the residual chlorine levels exceed the normal limit when crowded (2.82 mg/L) and also when quiet (1.86 mg/L). On the other hand, Tirta Lontara Swimming Pool has residual chlorine levels far below the normal limit when crowded (<0.1 mg/L) and exceeds the normal limit when quiet (2.16 mg/L). In addition, the water pH in both pools also does not comply with the standards. The pH of the Hasanuddin University Swimming Pool and Tirta Lontara Swimming Pool is below the normal limit in both crowded and quiet conditions. This low pH can potentially cause skin and eye irritation and reduce the effectiveness of disinfectants. The results of this study indicate a health risk for visitors due to non-compliant water quality, which can increase the risk of infection by pathogenic microorganisms.
